Anyone else think this would be useful?

My brain LOVES this. And it seems like a great physical support to my saying “No” to extra/others’/pop-up/impulse tasks!

Never in a million years. Reading/ looking at this alone elevated My stress level to an uncomfy level My eye is twitching from overwhelm

I've never used it this way, but we do this with horses, and a tag that says "did your turn the water off"

That’s a great idea if I remembered to put them on. My old ass Gen X ableism might get triggered, but I could see it working for my kids.

Love the idea, but I know that it wouldn’t work for me because of the simple fact that each month I’d have to delegate a task on that board, or just simply keeping track of those bracelets. Plus, my hyper-sensitivity or whatever it is thanks to ADHD, I have become less and less able to wear things on my body. Some clothes I struggle with wearing during a day. What I try to do for myself is to a. Have LOTS of grace. I’ve learned to let go, and learn ADHD! My house will never be TV clean! That’s just not MY reality. Not in a house FULL of ADHDers. So everyday I simply write when I write out my brain dump, clean what you can. Nothing specific this way, IF I don’t do, say the kitchen, I’m not going to feel that failure bearing down on me, especially if say I DID, clean up the boys toys. It’s still cleaning. It just maybe wasn’t what I had wanted on my list. So I took that off. I HAVE a separate list of areas I WANT to clean, and then I can go there and check those off as I hit them. I clean the bathroom Tuesday, just impulsively. And then last night I was going through my bucket book, and there was bathroom, I was like no sh*t! I can cross that off! I’d forgotten about it! So that felt so good! But WHEN I clean, I try to stay IN that room. I try to make sure ALL my rooms in my house have a garbage and recycling to prevent me from having to walk away. And IF something has to go into another room. It’s a pile, and when I’m ready to quit, I tend to that pile putting everything IN its rightful places. Not just in that room. That’s what my husband does. I say, that’s just more work for future you! Pay yourself now, and finish it by taking the extra steps to just putting it in its rightful place! Since doing those *small* changes it’s been a lot more productive for myself because that weight of failure is off of myself. And then EVERYDAY, so long as I cleaned some, I’m able to check it off and get that dopamine hit to feel like I accomplished something and want to keep going the next day. Is my house getting cleaner? NO!!!! I live with TWO Tasmanian Devils! They MAKE messes more than they clean them! So after I clean I turn around and there’s a new mess made. But at least it’s not messes on top of messes. I grew up in that, I HATED that! But I love your idea! And I hope you have great success with it! It’s always so fun to see and hear what works for everyone. Or what they’re trying.

Omg I’m amazed at your comment because I really just learnt. This is who I really am. This is how I have to work. I was thinking in my brain that that calendar keychain thing will work for me but then when I seen your comment I’m like no, this is more of me. I love this

That’s cool. I’m the type I’ve noticed I have to be as uncomfortable as possible while I’m doing as task so I can do it as quickly as possible. If I’m comfortable, it will take me FOREVER. But like laundry, I stand and flip the boys clothes inside out, or stand and sort. It makes things so much faster for me this way. Then I’m in a position to move to the next one on my list. My tasks I carry on to the next day and there after until I get it done. Just because if it’s getting moved forward, there was a purpose for its being on my list. And if I didn’t get it done that day, there’s typically a reason. Like today I had SUCH EASY and simple things to do, clean as much as you can, Turn the boys clothes inside out and sort it, Wash the delicates Look under the futon for your mouth guard Work on your schedule Write in your AM Journal Contact Amazon. Yeah, I’ve done maybe two of those things on that list. Not from lack of wanting to. But because ALL DAY my boys, specially my oldest son, has been glued to my side asking me for EVERYTHING!!! And when I say no, you hate me! And then hits his brother. And then I have to tend to a hurt child. It just got so emotionally depleting that I keep looking at my list looking for what I CAN do, and then I just want to crash instead. I even ended up with a migraine today because of so much constant fighting and complaining. And *I* had to go and do natural consequences and say, well you snuck the tv this morning, so now you can’t watch it when I wanted us to. And I truly mean it, but with the rain outside I can’t even send them outside either because they REFUSE to wear coats. And I COULD do natural consequences and let them get sick. But then I’m just further punishing myself when they’re home sick 😂. So I just try to carry my tasks forward without criticism for not getting it done the first day. Like amazon, that’s going to take forever for me to FINALLY call them because I HATE calling places! It is SO HARD for me to do that. And I feel like I’m dealing with used car salesmen because I feel like I’m not getting what I want in the end. 😂

Yes it’s so nice to see other perspectives- what helps one person might not help another. I completely understand that not working for you, life is too much sometimes and most people just don’t need to stress about getting everything done at once- It feels forced. If I don’t finish everything on my list though, checking a couple things off and not all of it doesn’t give me the dopamine I need haha. So I give myself tasks at the beginning of the day and only stick to those rather than getting distracted and doing something else on top of it. I make sure all of my chores are evenly spread throughout the week and also give myself days to do nothing. It gives me structure and also allows me to relax. But if I do end up doing something that’s not on my list- that just means I wanted to do it and probably enjoyed it so it’s not a chore.

There’s a chore/task labeled on each bracelet and each day you put one on when you want to finish that task that way you aren’t distracted by any other tasks until you complete the one you’re “wearing”
